tftp booting is something strange with pmaxes, even the PROM list isn't
reliable !

Recently I tried to tftp-boot a 5000/240 (PMAX+) with an PROM rev.
V5.2b. According to the PROM list, there should be no problem booting
tftp. But for 1.5 I can definitely state, that this does not work.

On the other side I tried a 5000/133 with an PROM V5.7j, which cannot
boot tftp. But it works great.

This information is valid for NetBSD 1.5. The tftp server was a 5000/120
running 1.4.1.

So, I would try booting tftp. This somehow more convenient due to not
having to disassemble the disks.
